As all of you know, I always erase last names and frequently edit photos in order to protect the anonymity of the Offender. I also respond to any problem that arises, be it an angry parent who wants his/her post removed (this has never happened), or an only somewhat cranky parent who’d rather I remove a photo but is cool with the post (this has happened twice). I am totally, 100% open to communication and having a reasonable discussion about someone’s oversharing status update.
However, a fellow named Ian was not comfortable with that option. He couldn’t email me himself to discuss the nature of his post, or ask me to remove something. First Ian posted a series of rants about the girl who submitted his status post, calling her out by her full name (the credit was a link to her blog). He also emailed her 3 times. Then I received an anonymous photo submission of Ian’s crazy rants, because another one of his ‘friends’ thought Ian’s panties were in an obsolete wad and he needed a good, strong wedgie to snap him back to reality, where the rest of us live. Out of the kindness of my cold, cold heart, I decided not to post those rants.
But here’s what I will do, Ian. I will call you out for being a total loser who can’t take a joke. I will call you out for contacting the Tumblr Gods regarding the post about you photographing your children while they’re in the bathtub (your kids appreciate that, by the way). And I will absolutely call you out for being a huge baby, a paranoid douchebag and most of all, a tool. This tool box is for you, Ian. Get a clue.
